This cabinet is very attractive and would probably look great in any entryway.  However, the closing mechanism on the doors are not the most user friendly.  Having the pull pretty hard to open and then pushing in firmly to close each time is a bit annoying.  It holds 8 pairs if you don't have very big feet.  I can imagine larger sized men's shoes may have to lie sideways and that would decrease how much storage you get out of this.  For our family of 3, it's adequate.
